Farm Cow Peeker Pocket
Friday, June 04, 2021
Hogs and Kisses
Happy Friday! It's Jeanne today and IT IS NEW RELEASE TIME! The collection is called COUNTRY FARM! It has the most delightful dies. Everything from Tractors to Chicks to Cows! Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions. Today, I am using the Farm Pig Peeker as a gift card holder / card.
This little gal is adorable with her floral headpiece.I first started by coloring her with Distress Oxide inks. I used Copic markers for the smaller floral pieces. (There is a sneak peek here of a card I'll have later this month for you!) I cut my A2 base and pocket from a Co'Ordinations cardstock which gives a weathered look when sanded. I wanted it to have an "old jeans" look. The Pocket was cut from the Peeker Pocket die which is currently out of stock.I traced the pocket onto a piece of light blue cardstock and cut it slightly smaller than the pocket. I glued this to the back of the pocket.
The pig peeker is glued to the pocket NOT the card to make a gift card holder.The front view.
I added her flowers and glued the pocket to the card panel. When adhering a gift card pocket I insert the card while gluing so I know that I have enough room for the card. If I don't, I have at times, glued the pocket piece so tightly to the card that I can't insert the gift card!
I stamped the sentiment and used the smallest of the Stitched Rectangle Slimline dies to cut a banner. The excess I trimmed with scissors.
Finally I added a small daisy in the corner to match the daisy in this little piggy's headdress. This panel can be used alone as a gift card holder or as the front for an A2 card!

Christmas Keys
Hi!
It's Anja here for my Monday's post. I made another "interactive" Christmas card today. I'll tell you a bit more about the crafting process below.
For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Christmas Keys, North Pole Express Tag, Peeker Pocket),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (13x13 cm),
- white card stock for background (12x12 cm) and die cuts,
- patterned paper for background (11,5x11,5 cm) and die cuts,
- scissors,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- gold pigment ink,
- silver pigment ink,
- adhesive foam pads,
- paper glue.
After cutting and coloring all the parts for the keys I started on the background. I used a few pieces of leftover patterned papers. After I cut the pocket I placed it on white card stock and cut a few millimeters around to get a bigger pocket in white. I glued the patterned one on top and then with adhesive foam pads to the card base. That's how I got a bit more space to stick all three keys in. I decorated the pocket with North Pole Express Tag. And my card was done.
Hope you like my project for today's post. Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.

Holiday Card With A Pocket
It's Anja here. Hope you had a good time during the holidays. I had a few days off work and it was so nice to spend it at home not doing much.
But I took some time for crafting. One of the projects was this cute holiday card I did for a gift. It my give you an idea as a gift card holder.
For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Moose Pulling Gnome Sled, Holiday Corners, Santa Over Christmas Town, Peeker Pocket, Nested Wacky Stitched Square Set),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (15x15 cm),
- dark red cardstock for background (3 pieces of 14x14 cm) and die cuts,
- patterned paper (3 pieces of 13,5x13,5 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- glitter embossing powder,
- embossing ink,
- black pen,
- heat gun,
- paper glue.
First I cut and colored the moose and the gnomes.
Next I cut and embossed the corners with glitter powder.
I did the same with the snowflakes.
Then I cut all six squares for the background and insides.
And last I cut additional squares and the pocket. I used red card stock for the pocket.
And when all that was cut and colored I assembled the card together.
This is the inside of the card with a pocket to hold your gift card.
And that's all form me. I wish you a nice start of the new week and see you again on Sunday.

Peeking Santa
There isn't a new release of dies for July, so we have decided to have a throwback month. The team will be featuring some of our previously released dies to give you fresh ideas for using them.
My favorite TV shopping channel is having a big Christmas in July event. And, of course, I already started my Christmas shopping.
Since, I am in the Christmas spirit I am featuring the Santa Peeker and the Peeker Pocket. dies. Let's get started with some details on how I created this card.
Step 1: This week I started with my layout. I saw this one on Splitcoaststampers and thought it would work great for the card that I had in mind. It would allow me to use Christmas patterned paper as well as traditional Christmas colors.
